I wouldn't go that far.. I think we will all be surprised with how well the ibook store does, but I agree that the devise lacks that one thing that would make it invaluable.

The keyboard addon is cool as well as the dock which makes it a digital picture frame.

Enjoy your future full of micro-transactions. Buying a iPad and then using the keyboard attachment... Might as well have just gotten an full iMac. You'd at least have a proper OS then.

Personally, the only appeal a Tablet style device holds is to be at home, find a cool webpage and be able to hand it over to someone to share like its a piece of paper. Beyond that, other devices beat it in either ease of use, overall functionality, or just plain portability.
